KLC, There you go assuming again. No Mon, Was not in my boat.
I went with my Belizian(and a couple of Gringo)friends in another boat.
We won BIGGEST Tuna. Did not have a beer until we weighed in at the dock, So THERE!!!!
Most of the 8 total fish we caught were on a pink fishing pole belonging to Ms 2Miles, including the winning fish. our Lucky pole.
My biggest Tuna was 10 pounds (Yea I weighed it) and I had to wrestle with a shark to get the fish on board, shark only had his teeth in the tuna and the tail was hanging off a bit when I landed it. I won wrestle match, shark still hungry, Tuna lost battle.

KLC, They are pretty small compaired to our USA east coast Tuna
Our 12 lb took the prize, Hell even my 10 lb would have won except a shark decided to put some holes in it first.
Holy sushi no count.

Fishing enthusiasts came out to brave the seas on Saturday May 22nd in the quest for Dorados at the 4th annual Dorado Tournament. During the day, fishermen trolled the sea for the big ones, and called in their catch before docking at the Holiday Hotel beach where eager onlookers and friends came to see who had caught the winning fish.
Originally scheduled for the Labor Day weekend (May 1st), the tournament had to be postponed when rough seas and strong winds blew in. As such, there were fewer boats registered to take part in the tournament, but nevertheless, there was a buzz of excitement as one by one, the boats docked and brought in their catch (a mix of Dorado and tuna) to be weighed.
Below find the list of winners, along with their prizes:
1st Place Boat - The Reel Deal - 22lb Dorado - $3000.00
2nd place Boat - Contender - $1500.00
